Please confirm that this was the condition for WBHE being approved for trams. A third track in a heavily built-up conurbation where not even all the bridges are being strengthened for heavy rail freight, let alone widened for a third track, according to Tim Martin, Head of Governance at WMCA.
See you in Aug or Sept, 2024 at the opening of the WBHE - only three more years to wait. Will I live that long? I hope not. It was predicted, by Cllr Fred Hunt, Leader of Dudley Council in a conversation with me in the mid 90s, that it would be opened in the year 2000!
The current leader is campaigning for city status for Dudley that is the largest town by population without a railway station! But he only wants, what he calls, a shuttle tramway to the mainline at Dudley Port in Sandwell and a tram stop where the railway station once stood - for 100 years - at Castle Hill. All this makes for more jollities than Boris Johnson's Jolly Japes!!
